Quintilla on Trial in Finland - Former SKC Wizards Update

He spent a short time with Sporting KC, but Jordi Quintilla won his fair share of fans in KC, especially with his winning penalty in the 2015 US Open Cup final, many of whom still take to social media to advocate for his return to Sporting. Since he was waived by Sporting KC last June though, Quintilla has been unable to catch on with another club. That looks like it could possibly change in the near future as reports out of Finland are that the former Barcelona product is on trial with Finnish club, SJK. A fairly new club, founded in 2010, SJK has gotten all the way to the Finnish first division and won the title in their eighth season of existence.

Elsewhere, former Kansas City forward, Herculez Gomez has called it a day on his playing career. Going out a champion with the Seattle Sounders, Gomez has joined ESPN as a studio analyst.
